IMPORTANT! When preparing for a system check, please be sure recording has stopped and that the disks are idle. Check if the recording is running, for example, with the command
mk5=dot?
If responce to the command contains 'FHG_on', recording is active, terminate with
disk_record=off
and check again. 'FHG_off' indicates that recording is off.
Since the station checks are after schedules have finished, it is unlikely the Mark 5 will still be recording, but it is important to check anyway.
